Happened a few time. There is even a show I dropped, but then picked it up again after 2 years and rated 10/10 at the end 🤣

I don't even know what to reply to this comment 🤣

I just clarified that the idea of watching the show to get to know ASD is not something appealing for me, since I already have a knowledge in that area ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn you have issues 🤣

If the only well written and developed character is the one lead, that's poor writing in my book. Whenever it's a FL or ML (would be just as not interested in the show if it was ML as an only center, and everyone around him a 1 dimensional support).

"if you need a well developed male character to make the female lead interesting," never said it. You are not responding to what I am saying, but what YOU THINK I mean. This is not a way to have a productive discussion.

Character does not have to be a core of the cast to be well written ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know, maybe I have higher standards or something.

thank you for the comment 😊 I think at the end of the day it's a matter of what someone looks for in a show, and what fits their current mood etc. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for a show like that. Who knows, I might check it out in the future :)

But that's kind of proves my point - he is not the focus and does not have a lot of screen time, because it's not a romance driven show. What it tells me - his character has no individuality, and is nothing more than just a side kick to FL. As far as I know, it;'s possible to write side characters well, and give them depth and individuality even with limited screen time...

And you just by an accident made me less interested in the show. If best friend gets the same treatment... it's again proves that the only well developed aspect of the show is FL 😅

I've spent some time reading comments, I thought I might as well share the impression I get from them. There was also an idea that someone might prove me wrong about it - which did not happen...

My first line of the comment literally says - "so this comment is not about the show, but rather audience reaction to it". I'm not judging the show per say, but rather how the comment section presents the show to people who have not seen it yet.

I'm done with poor writing of any characters. As much as I hate female characters being used for the development of male characters, I hate it as much with male characters being used only for the female characters sake. Equality is not that hard to grasp as a concept you know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Having female driven show does not mean ML has to be 1D empty stock character.

Damn it's not that deep. There are new shows dropped ever day, I'm not going to check them all out coz who knows, maybe I will like them. I check few comments, see what people say, how people react to the positive/negative aspects, and then decide if the show is worth the try or not.

The topic being this close to my background means nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I watch shows for entertainment purpose, not as a research or education on the on screen representation.

If I see people push against the criticisms with some points, I usually decide to check the show myself. But here I don't even see people disagree with criticisms, but rather try to make them less important/not a big deal. But the things people point out they did not like, are the things that usually bother me about shows too. So trying it with the idea that maybe I will like it, seems like a waste of time, when there are shows that seem to match my taste more.

When I'm really not sure about the show, I tend to check the comments, coz the views and opinions are more challenged there. So it's easier to see if the good points/criticisms are valid, since there will be people interacting with each other etc.

but yeah, I think I will skip this one. With the amount of new content from all the countries, there is no need to start a drama with hopes MAYBE I will like it.

I have a degree in clinical and neuropsychology, literally like a month ago I got back from a summer camp with kids with ASD where I worked as a counselor and psychologist 😅

So, first of all I have not seen even one scene of the show, so this comment is not about the show, but rather audience reaction to it. I am always interested to see people's opinions when a hyped show ends. Sadly... the comments under Extraordinary Attorney Woo do not make me want to pick up the show myself 🙃

What I gathered from the comments - Young Woo is a "fix it all" character, as she was given as a respons to a lot of criticism people have. For example: Someone says there is a poor characters development? I don't see people explaining how it's not true. I see people saying BUT Young Woo had an amazing development. So what you are saying, all the rest of the characters did not?

And then every week I saw people complaining about how Joon Ho is barely a character and he only exists for Young Woo, BUT it is Young Woo's story "so it's fine". That's just poor writing. Female character were used for male characters background and character development for years, I'm not here for the same poor quality writing of the characters, just reversed. I thought we were slowly moving away from it 😅

I waited for the show to end, to see the reactions and then decide if it's worth watching. but the impression I get from the comment section is - the show goes from mediocre to decent, BUT Woo Young Woo is AMAZING... not exactly encouraging.

I had to pause pt 2 of episode 1 like 5 times hahahaha
The way he was completely clueless his behaviour might be taken as flirting and where it led 🤣
I kept saying to the screen - "please don't" omg hahahahahaha

I was joking when I said "pay in nature" 🤡🤣
But then the shit happened.

A character going "I'm bi", yes thank you. Like, by the history of BL characters, I would say most of them were bi, but rarely ever we get them actually say it. More often it's like "I don't like guys, I only like you" if they had a previous history with girls too.

And then... I SAW THAT HAND GOING DOWN TO THE PANTS PAYU! STOP RIGHT THERE YOU UNHOLY CHILD!
also, how many times this dude has to say "no" for Payu to fuck off? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This shit cute, I had fun, yes bring me more.

Also Sky is so fun I cannot wait for his love line to start 🤣

yeah I sensed something was shady about him too, but that does not mean I wanted someone to confirm it from the start hahaha I wanted to watch it in that confusing "is he? Is he not?" state that brings some emotional impact 😭

I think I was too annoyed with being spoiled from the beginning that Chao Yang was not quite as of an innocent child. And by that vague ending that was for me not delivered well, that I just moved on quickly and never thought about it again 🙃

I think they tried to convey closer to the ending that he was in fact not manipulated. That he saw through the "manipulation" and went along with it, because it also often fitted his agenda.

But I completely agree that they tried to be vague to let the audience decide for themselves, but it was tooo vague, so basically any interpretation could fit... so does it even have a true meaning and message and conclusion?

Zhu Chao Yang is a devil who planned a lot of the bad shit that happened🤣 at least he was heavily involved and did not try to stop it even tho he could.

This was legit one of the few things I liked about the drama - they showed that the kid here was not the victim, but the perpetrator. both him and Zhang Dong Sheng were the villains who manipulated people around them and showed little remorse.

The whole ass confusing ending was part of it. The kids are dead except from Chao Yang, and he tried to convince himself they are still alive to cope with the results of his decisions.

don't quote me on specifics tho, it's been a while since I saw it 🙃

I grew up on horrors hahaha Started watching when I was 6 years old 🙃

For me, it would be best with no hints of romance whatsoever, they are not necessary at all. Especially with Ji Hyung being weirdly curious/jealous of Ma Eum and Joon Young in episode 6. It's just frustrating to see we can't get one female and male relationship that does not lead to romantic feelings and is more platonic. Before episode 6 it seemed like we are getting amazing mentor/mentee one, but now Ji Hyung is all "why are they together" act, personally i find that disappointing...

it was going so well, with barely any hints of potential romance and with literally no hints of love triangle.
and then episode 6 happened 🙃

The episode was far less dramatic than the preview showed, so I'm less worried about next episode, even tho, yet again, the preview is hella drama hahaha

What I like about this drama is how Ma Eum is obviously a good person, but they make sure to show her ways and thinking is not always good nor correct, and she can still be biased. Like with Kwon Young Bae this episode.

Because the viewers get the "lecturing" and life lessons WITH main character, and not delivered BY main character, it never comes across as preachy.

Okay, today's episode was not as strong as first 4, but it was still good.
They are obviously setting the dynamics and motivations between the characters now, so the drama can drop with episode 6 (watching that preview was exhausting lol).

That said, the last scene was A+ fucking amazing and beautiful and I like Ma Eum even more now, which I did not think was possible.
